To vall whom 'it may concern: A i l Be it known that I, WILLIAM N. SHELLABABGER,

`of Union, in the county of Montgomery, in the State of Ohio, have 'invented a new and improved Folding Feed-Trough; 'and I 'do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact-description thereof, refer ence being had tothe accompanying drawing, and toi the letters of reference` marked thereon.

, L ,The nature ofmy invention consists in constructing afeed-trongh in connection with a.-wagonbody', which' can be folded up when not required for use.

To enable others skilled VVAin the art tosmake anduse tion and operation. A l

The drawing shows the trough in perspective.

`xnyinvention, I will proceed'to describe its construc- A is designed to represent the forward end of a `wagon-body, vbut the trough may be attached tofthe sides or to the end-gate. f

D represents the bottom of the trough, and is Vattached to the part A by two hinges, m m.Y l i The front of vthe troughc() ishingedto the bottom `by two hinges, shown by dotted lines at t-t.,

The sides B B of the trough arehiuged to tbe front byhinges, shown by dotted liuesa'ts` s.

The ends of thesesides next to the wagonbed are held by two pins, one of whch`,shown by. dotted lines at n, enters lthe bottom; the other, o, secured bystaples to the-top,r enters the bed.`

Equivalent means may be adopted to secure the attachment of the ends to the bed.i

` Attached to the trough is a hay-rack, vconsistixig of two upright pieces, heldA by staples on the front of the trough. Y 4

At the top these pieces are connected by the horilZontal bar E; This attachment is secured by pins.

The bars Hl H ltre hinged to the bar E, andthe -other ends have eyes which pass over the staples K Y VK, and are secured, by the wires I' I, to the wagonbed. I

`The hay-rack is so constructed that it may be folded, and may be attached to the trough in any convenient` manner, when folded.-

' s To fold the trough, the pins odo are withdrawn, the A, sides are then folded against the front. This front is then opened o ut on a line with the bottom, and the whole carried up against the part A, and is secured to the staples K, by means of the ears or eyes p p ,r iny` object being the construction of a trough which -shall be `permanentlyattached to awagon-bed, and which can be folded up, so as to be out of the way, when not required for use.

What Iclaimas my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isy y y feed-trough, constructed' substau-j tially as described.
